Alphabetical listing of artists:
JACK ATKINS
Jack
Atkins is a fourth generation New Mexican born and raised in the north central
part
of the state. As a teenager in
Taos, he was heavily influenced by the emphasis placed by
the community on its ant and artists.
This eventually led to his current fascination with the
culture and traditions of the southwest in
general, and New Mexico in particular. The
intense desert light and vistas became the
inspiration for his use of vivid colors and dramatic
compositions to capture the underlying
sense of drama and history of the area.

MICHAEL ATKINSON
Slightly surrealistic in nature,
Michael Atkinson's landscapes are as intense as they are
haunting. Acknowledged as a master
colorist, the artist employs brilliant hues, bold lines
and negative (white) space to create
spectacular paintings which often call to mind the
more traditional Japanese wood-block
style. Although readily identifiable as "Atkinson's"
work by virtue of his trademark birds, each
image is so unique that it weaves a different
story for each viewer.

WAYNE BAIZE
A Texan by birth, Wayne Baize, who is a member of
the prestigious "Cowboy Artists
of America", has never strayed far
from his roots. Born and raised near Abilene, he
currently lives on a small ranch in the Big
Bend country near Fort Davis, where he
raises Hereford cattle and creates art that
tells the tale of the working cowboy.
"What I like is to portray the everyday
routine of these contemporary legends, both
as it is now, and as it was a century
ago. I prefer to show the rugged life these
men lead, working in the open range - riding,
roping and moving the herds across
the grassy plains. Cowboying is a demanding
occupation, yet one which brings great
satisfaction."

NANCY BUSH
Nancy and her husband Bill, are
the owners of a prestigious art school. Her own
paintings fall into the
"tonalist" category. Primarily a painter of landscapes, her
work imparts the feeling that one is,
perhaps, viewing a piece by one of the early
classical impressionists, and that the
work has aged very gracefully.

art work of NANCY BUSH
DOREMAN BURNS
His cowgirls have attitude, and his
penetrating yet personal style causes the viewer

continuous
source of inspiration.

artists of his time, Downe Burns' colorful images can
be found in restaurants, offices and motels
across the country as well as on the sets of
TV series such as "90210" and
"Melrose Place". Inspired by the physical beauty of
his surroundings, Burns chooses to portray his
environment in bright, electrifying
colors, frequently adding unusual elements such
as saguaro cactus and lonely adobes.
As a change of pace, he has created a new
series featuring winsome florals and
charming old houses that has taken the art
world by storm.

BEV DOOLITTLE
Bev Doolittle's paintings are
inspired by her love for nature. "In coming up with an idea, I
try to look beyond the obvious, and create
unique meaningful paintings depicting our Western
wilderness and its inhabitants." she
notes. "I start with a concept, and attempt to convey
it through strong design, coupled with detailed
realism".
to view the art
work of Bev Doolittle.
ALBERT DREHER
Rich in unity, Dreher's works
celebrate the Native American's ultimate belief in the
oneness of Nature and Man.
Everything in a Dreher painting flows; space, color, time
and reality. The circular sun/moon theme
found in many of his paintings is a constant
symbol of hope arising out of despair - the
light dawning behind darkness. The popularity
of Dreher's work centers around a unique
oil wash technique which imbues his work with
the soft, ethereal quality of a watercolor, yet
offers the durability and classic nature of an
oil painting.

PAT DURGIN
Landscapes by Albuquerque painter Pat
Durgin are so real that the viewer feels he can

haciendas invite the passerby inside for a calm
respite.

EL FUENTE
"El Fuente" is not his real
name, of course, but in the idyllic
haven he has found,
his art now flows as freely as the water from his
namesake, "fountain". He is alone,
yet not lonely. His continence is easy to gaze upon, but he
will give no one that
opportunity. He attends no receptions, and desires no fame or accolades.
-----
His art must speak for itself.

WILLIAM HOOK
William Hook's
minimalist
style compels the viewer to step deep into the scenery of
his loosely painted canvases. Hook
notes, "My first childhood experiences in the desert
southwest still inspire the way I experience the landscapes I paint today. The excitement
of being in a place where the heat of the
sun can be heard as it warms the earth is the
reason why I attempt to paint.

ANNETTA HOOVER
There is truth to the adage that
beauty can be found everywhere. Through the eyes of this
New Mexico artist, dusty desert roads,
crumbling adobe ruins and even toiling field hands

sign up for a tour of this inviting new land.
Annetta Hoover will soon have her web
pages added to this site.

Stephen was a consummate outdoorsman who

was not only to share this vision with others,
but more importantly, to communicate
the intrinsic value of the wilderness before it
was lost.

HARRIETT McDONALD
Art has always been a part of Harriett’s life as she grew up with the smell
of artist’s
paint and turpentine, and the sight of her mother at her easel,
plying her own considerable
skills. From the time she could hold a crayon,
she was given access to materials
and opportunity. So, creativity has
always been a part of her environment.

Mexican... The exuberant joy of a young
child... All these are subjects for the sensitive
pen & ink drawings and vivid watercolors of
Southwestern artist, Rudy Montoya.

Montoya's web pages and art work.
GARY MORTON
Only a man who has walked in their
boots can truthfully portray the life of the working
cowboy, and New Mexico artist, Gary Morton, has
walked and ridden with the best
of them. Morton chooses to voice his
admiration for this vanishing breed of "heroes" by
depicting vignettes from their daily lives such
as driving a herd to pasture, roping,
branding and sometimes even the moments of
quiet contemplation stolen at the end of a
grueling day.
to view Gary
Morton's web pages and art work.
GARY NIBLETT
Gary Niblett's art is a
celebration of life, capturing the simple beauty found in the
everyday moment. His work portrays the
quiet fortitude that tamed the Western
frontier, reminding the viewer that it is in
the aftermath rather than the storm that
strength of character is often found.

Niblett's web pages and art work.
PHILLIP PAROTTI
Using both oil and water based
inks, Phillip Parotti creates detailed images using the time
honored tradition of wood and linoleum
block printing. Occasionally he prints other subjects,

traditions of the region surrounding his
home in Silver City, New Mexico.

view Phillip Parotti's web pages and art work.
RANDY PATTON
Randy Patton's work encompasses a
diverse range of subjects including realistic landscapes
and stunning abstracts. Using the rich
jewel tones of the rainbow , he also produces vibrant
images which depict the beauty and charm
of old El Paso.
to view Randy
Patton's web pages and art work.
ANTONIO PIÑA
Charros, Charras, Vaqueros - all are
images one associates with the work of Tony Piña.
However, one errs in limiting the scope of
subject matter to that listed. The smoldering
deserts, sweeping mountains, endless sky and
even the peoples who inhabit those
vistas, are all realistically recorded in
the paintings of this masterful artist.
Tony Piña will soon have his web pages
added to this site.
MARK PLOSS
Some see the desert as a vast,
colorless wasteland, but not Mark Ploss. The ever shifting
White Sands dunes create shadows of dark and
light that paint pictures as unique as those
found in the changing beads of a kaleidoscope.
Yucca spears and ocotillo steams create
patterns that inspire the artist to new heights
of design and form. The desert is alive and
waiting to be courted.
to view Mark
Ploss' web pages and art work.
ED POSA
Bordering on the abstract, the
paintings of Colorado artist Ed Posa have a truly mystical and
spiritual quality about them. Using long
sweeping lines and bold, strong colors, to create his
images which seem to literally lift to the sky.
Native Americans speak of his style as
"touching the heavens".

FRANCISCO ROMERO
Romero has said that he works hard to
capture the spirit of life on the border. "The
Mexican culture is my inspiration" he
said. "I want to show the everyday life of my
people, and their customs, through my
work. And, I also like to show the Mexican
history, the day-to-day life of the Mexican
people from the 1800's and early 1900's".

tradition of Diego Rivera, with some influences
of Colombian artist Botillo peeking through.

Schwindt approaches his paintings as a philosopher

completing a truly perfect painting. Perfection
is a source of beauty in itself.

"When I thought about it, I
realized I had always loved the West - the open spaces of the
landscapes, the cowboys, the animals and
the challenge that this way of life represented.
Most of my family lived out west, and my
in-laws were involved in ranching, so painting
the west was a natural progression for me. And
so my adventure as a cowboy artist began".
